HAIKU

This collection of my erotic, lesbian-themed haiku began as an online chapbook called LadyPetals. I recently decided to let the additional domain name go, and move the haiku here, to Geek Porn Girl.

Jane’s Guide, an erotic website and blog review site, once reviewed LadyPetals, saying of the collection:

“Snippets of erotica sometimes seem to do more for me than a whole story. I guess it’s like seeing a flash of leg, or a single button undone, instead of full nudity. At any rate, I loved this site, lesbian-themed erotic haiku. Newish, just started in September, but with a delicious collection of sexy snippets.”

In these poems, I try to create a turn-on in 17 syllables. Purists will point out that I ignore some of the conventions of traditional haiku (although I love sticking to a 17 count; it’s like figuring out a crossword puzzle). But after all, ignoring conventions is part of eroticism.

These tiny poems are like chocolate truffles… they’re better if you don’t eat them all at once.

If you’re a prude – poetry or otherwise – you’re on the wrong website. Otherwise, enjoy!

Bruises on my skin,
without words, tell the story
of a night’s pleasure.
